This is, at least, what the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) says its investigation has found. According to the ‘sting’ report, sugar syrup adulteration of honey is rampant in most major and lesser-known brands.

Sharing the findings with media, CSE Director-General Sunita Narain said the investigation found that the honey sold by 10 out of 13 brands in Indian markets are adulterated with sugar syrup. A total 22 samples of the 13 brands were taken for the study.
